Re: CASIO CT-670 as midi keyboard

Try disconnecting the Casio and using your QWERTY keyboard as the controller just to see what happens.

To enable the qwerty keyboard, click on View - Musical Typing, or press CTL+ALT+K (Explained on pg14 of MC9 manual).

Re: CASIO CT-670 as midi keyboard

If you are connecting from the keyboard's MIDI out, then drivers (for the CASIO) shouldn't come into play here, as it's only the MIDI spec your PC cares about. If you haven't tried a different USB port, do that. Avoid USB3 (blue inner strip) if USB2 is available (black inner strip). What MIDI/USB ca...

Re: How can I set my octa capture so that I either hear on my headphone or my studio speakers?

I don't have the Octa-Capture, but I use a physical switch box to move inputs between different headphones. Works great, with no loss in audio quality. It's this one: https://www.amazon.com/STEREO-Manual-Speaker-selector-available/dp/B073GWCRP3/ref=sr_1_1 I get that you might not want to spend money...

Re: USing Korg M1 Legacy as VSTi

I don't have the Korg Legacy plugins, so this is just a wild guess/suggestion....

If it installs both the VST2 and VST3 versions, try both and see if they behave in the same way. Sometimes one is problematic (Either due to design or just a bug) but often the other version works as expected.

Re: Can anyone reccomend a Bass VST that works on Mixcraft 9?

I am looking for a VST to use for good bass guitar sounds on Mixcraft 9? Cant seem to get any to work.. When you say, "Cant seem to get any to work" do you mean "wasn't to your liking"? Or that you literally can't get them to work? If the latter, which bass instruments have you ...

Re: Mixing with Mike Sale and Free Membership

I can't vouch for the poster or the link, but Michael White is a well-respected engineer/producer (Youtube channel: Michael White). "Mixing with Mike" is his website, and it's the real deal. AFAIK, he uses mostly Pro Tools.

Are you using Mixcraft 9? Page 118 of the manual goes over assigning/using MIDI controllers.

Re: Mixcraft 6 to 9?

Quick question, once I download Melodyne, will I need internet connection every time I use it? Quick answer is no. :wink: You'll only need the internet when you activate it, and later to download periodic updates. (Just go to the library every few months and update everything, and you'll be fine).

Re: Sound Settings

Make sure you've installed the latest drivers for your audio interface.

Also, a good place to start is to do basic tweaks as outlined in the link below (Especially important is to disable any unnecessary tasks in startup):

Re: I've been away too long and Kontakt is speeding past

... On the other hand there are some libraries written in Kontakt 5 that won't work in Kontakt 6 (some of Kirk Hunter's stuff for instance). Yikes! That is not how it's supposed to work. I have tons of pre-K6 Kontakt libraries (that go back to K2), and they all work fine in K5. I took a quick look ...

Re: I've been away too long and Kontakt is speeding past

You should be fine for many years to come with Kontakt 5. The only libraries that may not work are those released after Kontakt 6's release (that take advantage of its newer features).

Bottom line, with Kontakt 5, you'll never lose any of the functionality that you have now.
